What is MovieLand?

MovieLand, also known as MediaPass, is software that offers consumers a free three-day trial to download music and movies. After the trial period, consumers are inundated with pop-ups that appear at least hourly and subject the consumer to a payment demand that cannot be closed. These messages are generated by software installed on their computers that cannot be easily removed.

Manual MovieLand removal


Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove MovieLand, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

MovieLand is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only MovieLand can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads MovieLand trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, MovieLand offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, MovieLand not only does not fix the errors, but it takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as MovieLand, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install MovieLand, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as MovieLand, is nearly impossible to remove manually.

All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
